Married men for over 15 years, get in this thread!

[compuwiz1]

So the question is, if your spouse walked out, how long would it take you to find another, or at least have a few good dates, then some sex?

Personally, I've had so many women beating at me for so many years, that I think I could probably have dinner with someone, and at least be into some heavy petting within 3 hours of picking up the phone.

This is all hypothetical, since I'm not going anywhere. Contingency plans are always a good thing!

One must always be mindfull of the family rocket, and the courses it might take.

As soon as word got out that I was having marriage problems I was getting indecent proposals or invites to have drinks to "talk about it". I went out with a co-worker shortly after we seperated, just an appetizer and a beer type of deal. Anyway we ate, drank and talked about things for a bit. I drove her home walked her to her door and gave her a friendly goodnight hug... she called me the next day and asked me "why didn't you try to have sex with me?" dead serious she was. It was awkward but I was soon to discover quite common.

Women these days are as bad as men. Getting laid post marriage is too easy.

Getting laid pre-marriage is too easy these days. Women really don't make men put much effor into it these days.

I've been married for 21 years and to be honest I think I would be a bit lost if I suddenly found myself without my wife.

so why didn't you did she actually invite you in at all? just out of curiousity.

I've only been married for two weeks, but I can't see how I'd ever feel any other way.

haha, she did invite me in but i didn't take her up on her offer because she had a very big and very annoying dog (i don't like dogs). i didn't know she wanted to "do it" until our convo the next day.

overly aggressive women turn me off, i've shot down quite a few. i guess i'm a little old fashioned in that way.

My MIL is in the process of divorce after being married for 23 years. It seems she isn't having a hard time finding willing participants. My FIL, on the other hand, didn't have any problems finding them before the divorce...

 

[EagleKeeper]

If I needed to look after 30+, years I do not feel that I would have a serious problem finding companionship.

How I would handle the situation, would be another story.

The response from the children and grandchildren would also have to come into the picture.

 

[DrPizza]

I don't know... never thought about it.

 

[Kaieye]

Ok, I have been happily married for over 15 years and for your question? I don't know...

 

[Superself]

Married 14 years...close enough.

Whether or not you find sex isn't the issue. Its the HUGE void in your life you will be missing. Married for that long, you don't know what you'll miss until your SO is gone, and nobody will be able to replace that.

Alcohol maybe?

 

[dullard]

I don't fit your criteria, but I was in the neighborhood. I was married 6 years, together 11 years. I was terrified of the idea of never being able to find anyone as good again. That fear delayed the divorce quite a bit. I put up with crap just because I thought I already found the best and couldn't settle for the rest.

Within a week of me filing for divorce I found exactly the right match for me. I wasn't even looking yet, but bam, there she was. I wasn't ready to date yet, but two months later I met her again and we have been dating ever since. The 1 year mark of my new relationship is in a couple weeks.

I thought so too, until it happened to me. I had no void. It was filled without me even trying.

I think chasing women would be the last thing on my mind. Given that I have two small children, I'd be too busy figuring out how I'm going to provide for them, stay in their lives, and help them adjust to the breakup.

Not the answer you're looking for, I know. As usual, the most important stuff in life is also the stuff that's the least interesting to others.
